Feasibility study and application of electric energy storage systems embedded in HVDC and STATCOM systems

The integration of Energy Storage (ES) Systems, like batteries and supercapacitors, in power systems is accelerating globally due to their ability to enhance the flexibility and efficiency required to integrate intermittent renewable energy sources. ES systems embedded in HVDC and STATCOM devices can enhance network resilience and ancillary services. This brochure provides insights on converter topologies, modeling, integration options, ancillary services, benefits, and challenges of ES integration in HVDC/STATCOM systems.
